The problem is that COstco is just not practical for a two-person household, as I recently found out after being scammed out of a great deal of money from a door to door produce truck. I spent two days on the tomatoes alone, making tomato sauce and freezing it, and freezing OJ and corn and green beans, but I lost a lot things that aren't freezable. And I am STILL juicing the quickly dying oranges. I lost the entire box of grapefruit when I realized that you aren't supposed to eat it while on lipitor and Dan drew the line of grapefruit as a dinner entree. What can I say, as I told you and Lane, the woman had no teeth and said she was pregnant with twins and it completely paralyzed my usual common sense. Rice I can store, but we don't eat much rice. But milk, salads, perishables, we are out of luck on those.

I just leave them out on the floor near the sink where I use them. I'm not sure why I have to use the cardboard boxes the oranges come in as my coffee table. I'm not seeing the logic there. If you had a kitchen my size, you would see it. <g> Seriously, you have to have space to put the stuff in order to buy in bulk. That's not always simple. Creativity helps. You could put your crate of oranges in the living room and drape it with some cloth. Then you don't need floor space near the sink or to pay for a coffee table. I'm also in favor of limiting food stamp purchases to healthy foods. I support that in principle, in practice, not so much. The government authorizes Cheerios advertisement as a health food, after all. I don't trust them.
